Bed Bath & Beyond paid less than $30 million for One Kings Lane, a startup that was once worth $900 million

Daniel Goodman/Business InsiderAt its peak, One Kings Lane was worth $900 million, nearly a member of the exclusive billion-dollar startup club. But when it was bought by Bed Bath & Beyond in June, it sold for about 3% of its peak valuation.

According to a new report from Recode's Jason Del Rey, the home-goods website was sold for "less than $30 million."

One Kings Lane was at one point a fast-growing flash-sale site for home goods that raised more than $225 million in venture capital. The site came of age during the Gilt Groupe era, where flash sales were hugely popular, and One Kings Lane once had a valuation of more than $900 million. But flash-sale sites fell out of favor after about 2010, and Gilt Groupe, Fab, and now One Kings Lane sold for far less than their lofty valuations.
